So Biden is forcing us to buy vehicles which we cannot park near our homes because they may spontaneously explode.
Makes perfect "Liberal brain" sense to me. I guess?

These aren't EV's no spontaneous combusting batteries, just bad substandard power seat motors in cars no one was forced to buy. It's kind of like those Ford trucks that would self immolate years ago.

Funny. Yes, you are absolutely correct. I read spontaneous combustion and automatically read EV in the article without realizing it. I just assumed it was an electric vehicle because those things catch on fire all the time.

What I wrote is right but aimed at the wrong target. It is correct, just not in this particular case. Thanks for pointing that out.

Figured it out. My brain's autocorrect software replaced SUV with EV without telling me.

No biggy, sometimes I think auto makers are in competition for creating self immolation vehicles.

The insurance companies claim EVs have a substantially lower rate of spontaneous combustion than IC cars.
